A lot depends on the RAM you are going to use. It appears that the Asus board does not currently support DDR400. Here's the link regarding it: http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=55800&perpage=15&pagenumber=1

Is that registered ECC RAM? If not, then you will need to use a board that supports your RAM. Many of the new AMD64 releases are requiring registered ECC RAM but that should be changing shortly for the Athlon64 line (or maybe it has? :confused: ).
